The cover of Man Chen Star Magazine is amazing. How can I improve my photography?

I think to improve my photography, I should do the following:

First, look more.

The so-called seeing more is to see more photographs of excellent photographers. Everyone knows that a good photographer has good photos. What are the advantages? This needs to be carefully looked at, and then summed up, how people's works are framed and composed, why they should deal with the background like this, why they should shoot from this angle, why they should arrange the foil like this, and so on. The work of a good photographer is a benchmark for learning. As the saying goes, it's hard to be a master if you haven't seen one.

Second, shoot more.

The so-called multi-shooting means having a benchmark, having your own ideas and practicing shooting constantly. It is difficult to make progress by theoretical knowledge alone. The so-called practice makes true knowledge. All knowledge is acquired through practice. Without practice, there is no right to speak. This is a fact.

Third, communicate more.

In the learning stage of any subject, you can't build a car behind closed doors. If you want to make rapid progress, you need expert guidance and take fewer detours. As a photographer, you should communicate with your photographer more. You can send photos to everyone for comments. The obvious problem, the expert gives a direction, got it. The speed of this progress is the result of communication. In addition, photographers who like to communicate can send your photos to the comment area, and I will also exchange comments with you.

Fourth, learn to measure light.

Good photometry can take colorful photos. Learn to use the exposure meter, and try to choose a colorful background when shooting, such as street view, which is very suitable for both travel photos and portrait photos. Fully understand the metering and exposure of the camera. Is this ray of sunshine in the picture enough to illuminate your theme? Is the background dim? If you want to use light to help you achieve the desired effect, you must learn metering and exposure settings.

Fifth, change the angle.

Our eyes are used to seeing the world horizontally, but why should we keep this habit when using cameras? When you shoot from your knees or the ground, you will be surprised by this magical perspective.

Sixth, learn to use the later period.

Some things still need to be used later. When we take photos of products, we need to carry out matting operation. When we shoot models, we need to eliminate freckles and acne marks. Then these are all things to learn.

Seven, study photos, but not too much.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of studying other people's photos? If you accept them, how will you accept them? However, don't immerse yourself in other people's photos and be overly influenced by others.

Eight, learn to imitate

Just like the growth of children, the improvement of photographic composition level must start with imitation. What should we imitate? By the way, those excellent works include composition skills, color application and so on.

Nine, improve in practice

People who love photography like to observe the world from an angle that ordinary people can't see, which is what we often say to cultivate photographic vision. This kind of composition angle can't be found in a day or two, nor can it be learned naturally after shooting too much. It depends on the accumulation of experience and understanding of photography technology. Therefore, in the process of learning a lot of shooting, we must think more and summarize more, and accumulate over time. I believe your composition level will be improved unconsciously.

The above is what I think we should do to improve our photography!
